There was a man who loved coffee so much

he drank three, four, sometimes five cups a day.



He would feel his day unworthwhile,

when that buzz of caffeine not bubbling within.



When the chemical was not driving his engine,

all the information on the websites and books

would suddenly feel so uninteresting.



One day he no...

Some guzzle the sludge

in order to be more "effective" at their job.



Some drink it

in order to simply stay awake.



Neither care so much for the quality

so long as it "works".



On the other side there are those who must "experience" coffee.

"Mom! Mom! Wake up!"

The day struck her on top of the head. Sleep threw her off the soft bed and onto a concrete floor. 

"Mommmmmmmm."

She used to sleep in all the time. She didn't begin waking up early for the sake of Cameron, although that was one benefit. Instead Victoria...

He grew up on stories with a good guy and bad guy . When his friend raved of a new movie they'd seen, he'd always ask, "what's the good guy like?"

Darth Vader and the  green power ranger were the first bad guys that he liked. He looked up to...

The sky was blue and the breeze perfect. It felt like he was on the coast of Hawaii . Such weather made him wonder whether he ought to go on this trip at all.

But the path was already set. He had purchased new sunglasses and a six pack of Hawaiian...

I could finally understand why he had wanted to write a  graphic novel back in  college . They were like a  Netflix show, but on paper. I thought of him while flipping through the pages, feeling the sheets against my fingers.

"I can feel what you said."

"PT!" Zach shouted in glee as PT arrived in the lobby sipping the  apple juice . He still didn't think of it as his apple juice, but rather that lady's who was staying upstairs.

"Hey aren't you forgetting something?" Zach asked.

PT made a face to signal that he didn't know what...
